NASHP Webinar: Supporting People with Serious Illness during the Pandemic: The Growing Need for Palliative Care
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) is holding a webinar on June 30, "Supporting People with Serious Illness during the Pandemic: The Growing Need for Palliative Care."
The value of supporting individuals with serious illness through care management and planning, behavioral and physical symptom relief, and other added supports has been evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. Policymakers are now grappling with how to restructure hard-hit health care systems to better support individuals with serious and complex needs. As state budgets shrink, palliative care may be an important part of the answer.
The webinar will discuss how the pandemic is changing the role of palliative care. Speakers will also review what the state of Colorado has done to support palliative care and why it is important to state health systems.
Speakers include:
- Kitty Purington, NASHP Senior Project Director, Chronic and Vulnerable Populations
- Amy Berman, Senior Program Officer, The John A. Hartford Foundation
- Michelle Miller, Chief Nursing Officer and Deputy Director, Office of Cost Control & Quality Improvement, Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing
- Diane Meier, Director, Center to Advance Palliative Care
